About me

I have lived in Japan for 37 years and currently live with my husband and 5 cats. My two children are living and working in the States. I have been a quilter for over 20 years but I am semi-retired and teach English occasionally. I love the Bible and Jesus and try to serve as I can to His glory

Quilting profile

I'm a self-taught quilter who for the past 20 years has progressed through trial and error mostly using Japanese books. I belong to a small group of quilters and we yearly make a bazaar quilt but on my own I dabble in hand piecing and strip piecing and hand quilting. Since joining the blogging world I've enjoyed Wonky piecing and am trying to get a handle on machine quilting using a domestic machine.

Projects

Unbelieveable! Yestereday evening I didn't have anything to do! (In the way of handwork.) I finished sewing the batting for my Autumn Blossom; I put together the backing (which was a little too small so I had to add another panel (thank you Lord that I had used the same backing earlier this year on another quilt and had enough left over to piece for this quilt's backing). I didn't have the elastic thread for Tetsu's sweater ribbing (will buy that today) so I couldn't do more on the sweater, and the yarn I've ordered for Leiya's muffler hasn't come yet. So...... I started drawing piecing lines for another feathered star block though that is officially on hold since I have so many other things running through my head (and Furui-san hasn't even started hers.) Oh and the letters quilt I want to do with Tonya's (blogger) tutorial needs to be done on the sewing machine so I haven't started thinking about that yet.
